First of all, I wanted to thank all watchers on here, new and old. Thank you :)

A long time ago, I stepped back from the furry community and stayed around the fringes due to a range of factors. Someone I knew called this being 'Furry-lite'; one whom appreciates aspects of the community without being in the midst of it. The aspect I never stopped appreciating in particular is how much of a nurturing hub it is for creative types, and how celebrated the process and results are. I still adore that, but I found my introversion clashed with the social culture and expectation of the furry community at large. Keeping up with endless lists of contacts and social events/gatherings was pretty damn overwhelming!

As I have aged (aged, wow, I'm only 27), I have learned to enjoy and relish in my introverted tendencies. I love how I prefer to have a small gathering where there can be flowing conversations spanning any topics, where unrestrained thoughts can just pour out. I love having the need for large slices of time by myself. I love knowing how to be alone together with anyone who understands. I love the insight and perspective it has given me. I love what it is has done for my writing.
Also yes, wanting dragon smut is a fundamental need, hence the commissions you may have seen crop up now and then through the years ;)

Anyway, that is pretty much why I am so infrequent around these parts, but this journal isn't just to explain why I will remain on the outskirts like some kind of smut scribe hiding out in a sketchy tavern at the edge of town. Alongside my novel (which is currently in its fifth and final rewrite), I've always wanted to contribute to the creativity of this community, and that desire has only grown and grown, especially as I continue to be inspired by having such close proximity to staggering skill and creativity. I did so an age ago with an unabashed pornorific short story, and now I want to with a story series I have been working on called 'Scales of Retribution', a dark fantasy in which we stand by Sarthinas, an anthropomorphic copper dragon, who not only has to fight against the acts of silent war by a twisted, tenacious enemy, The Pierced, but his King as well.

I can't promise any concrete schedule for uploads, but I estimate I can have a chapter up every two to three weeks. There are a good number of unrelated, as-of-yet unfinished porn riddled short stories I will probably get out there too!

The first chapter of 'Scales of Retribution' will be going up within the next few hours! Any views, favourites, comments, criticisms will be enormously appreciated. Most of all, I want you to be absorbed into this world and not want to leave.
